Now, I took one glance at the King of the Hill story and thought, "No, I
don't have time for this. Besides, after the Tenchi Muyo story, I don't
know if I want to read any weird stuff like Bobby Hill going berserk and
slicing his parents open with, oh I don't know, a cheese grater." My finger
hovered over the delete button.
Then the phone rang, and as I was talking on the phone, my eyes kept
wandering back to the beginning of the story. Once I got off the phone, I
read some more...then some more...then some more...
And my entire afternoon was shot as I sat on the edge of my seat, reading
the best-gosh-darn ghost story I ever read. Okay, maybe it's not the best
story, but being a KOTH fan, I could literally
*see* all the action playing
out in my head, just like an episode. You had the characterizations
down-pat, even down to Boomhawer's weird talk. Oh, the story was the usual
cliche Town-is-actually-a-ghost-town, but your use of the KOTH cast really
sucked me in, kept me chewing nails as the noon hour approached. So I have
to say, this was the best KOTH fanfic I've ever read, and just maybe this
*should* be an actual episode!
Oh yeah, as for the Tenchi Muyo story: pretty gory, scary, yada, yada, yada...
